Usage & Nuances
'Stoney' is mainly an adjective for ground, roads, or surfaces with lots of stones, but can also mean emotionally cold (literary or formal contexts). Often confused with 'stony' (the standard spelling); 'stoney' is more common in British English place names. Not used for 'high on drugs'—that's 'stoned.'
